does diablo 2 resurrected require internet

Without an internet connection none of them work because they can’t be verified as active for your account. Unfortunately the reason this occurs isn’t because of anything Blizzard has done, but due to the requirements for digital purchases on consoles. It cannot progress to character selection without that. When you get to the D2 splash screen it prompts you to make an internet connection to authenticate. This is ridiculous, would have been nice to be able to receive a refund for the switch version but I already contacted support and they are not able to give refunds on the switch

I shouldn’t have a constant internet connection on a console that doesn’t even have it’s own connection and needs to get it from outside sources, it’s a mobile console and not only that, the least you could do is supply a cloud service where I can play my single player characters on both my console and my PC if you have a constant internet connection, if I don’t get to have that, why do I need to be connected while playing single player? I was playing offline and all of a sudden my internet stopped working and the game prompted me to connect back if I want to keep playing, which is ridiculous, I am playing offline!

Hello, I was using my Nintendo switch and decided to play some D2R and I get that you need to use authentication when logging in(which is still a bit silly on a mobile console with no internet connection!!) but why do I have to have a constant connection up while playing the game offline?
